    HELP Mum isn’t sitting on ducklings

    I go and give them a little every few hours instead of leaving it in there. They all ate some and I think it’s helped one of the babies to make it through thankfully. He was very weak for a little bit but is making a recovery. Me and my mum are going to wake up every 2 hours and check on them...

    HELP Mum isn’t sitting on ducklings

    Just gave them some and they’re very awake now. I’m hoping it works🤞🏻🤞🏻. Does having it cooked work better? Or is it just less messy. I gave them the yolk and sugar but they only had a little bit. How much should they have had?

    But she wasn’t sitting on them and keeping them warm, I feel so much better having them inside where I can keep an eye on them and I can cope with a mad mum then with 7 dying babies.

    However the other babies seem perfectly fine with temp so maybe it’s just that one baby?
